Graeme john Smith (born 14 November 1947) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from New Zealand.
[7] Canterbury Crusaders promoter Johnnie Hoskins signed Smith for the 1970 British League Division Two season[8] and also brought back Barry Crowson to the club.
[12] Smith married on 2 August 1970 but then suffered a leg injury and was later subject to a Speedway Control Board suspension at the start of the 1971 season, due to remarks he made to a track official.
[13] Smith had gained significant status at Canterbury but had a troubled season, threatening to retire and struggling to overcome earlier injuries.
[14] Smith left Canterbury in early 1972 to join Sunderland Stars[15] and Reading Racers in their respective divisions, in what turned out to be his last season in British speedway because he returned to New Zealand with his wife and young daughter.
